2015 - Best Bits

2015 - Best Bits

What a year 2015 has been. Sadly 2015 hasn't been the best year, maybe I'll put that in another post. Here's some of the best memories I have. 

I was reunited with my childhood best friend (middle) and I met the lovely Tia (right) who I fancy massively. 

 My birthday was cool. It definitely taught me a lot! And I am no longer a teenager. 

I spent many hours in hair salons getting my hair dyed blonde. 

Favourite songs from 2015

Favourite songs from 2015

This year has been amazing when it comes to music. The charts have seen such a diverse range of genres and I love it. This post actually took me ages to write because this year I've loved A LOT of songs. I just know I have still forgotten loads but here's a list of my faves. 

(FYI I know not all of these were released in 2015.)

Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk

Fetty Wap - Trap Queen

Wiz Khalifa - See you again ft. Charlie Puth

Lethal Bizzle - Fester Skank

Omi - Cheerleader

Guest Post | Alternative Christmas Playlist

Guest Post | Alternative Christmas Playlist

Hey, I’m Shannon! When I’m not pestering Abbie on Facebook Messenger with details of the abundance of weird things that happen in my life or perfecting a university deadline right up until the last minute, I write my own blog about new music over at: rock2therhythm.blogspot.co.uk. If you like indie and rock music then it might be your kind of thing, so feel free to check it out!

For now though I’ve curated an alternative Christmas playlist to get you in a festive mood but also offer a break from some of those Christmas classics which have been played maybe a little bit too much already…

I hope you enjoy it!

The xx – Last Christmas (Wham! Cover) 

For those wanting to have a chilled Christmas, this cover by The xx may be the perfect soundtrack. The atmospheric synths and soothing have become a trademark aspect of the trio when it comes to their own material, however this cover proves when applied to a Christmas classic, it still works. 

Julian Casablancas – I Wish It Was Christmas Today 

Mr Casablancas is the lead singer of indie rock outfit The Strokes. The New York band have influenced so many of today’s new rock bands, but back in 2009 the frontman decided to go it alone and record this Christmas cracker.

8 favourite Christmas jumpers

8 favourite Christmas jumpers

Whilst I was buying some clothes online I noticed that there were loads of cool Christmas jumpers around this year, I thought I would do a quick post to show my favourites. They aren't in an order but if I could buy them all I definitely would. 

Nostalgia (In The Style) - £9.99

This is just the funniest Christmas jumper! Definitely one you'll only get away with this year though. 

Binky (In The Style) - £9.99

I think this one is a little bit cheeky but I love it and I love Binky from MiC so of course I'm going to like her clothing. 

My first YouTube video! Eeeekkk

My first YouTube video! Eeeekkk

Today I uploaded my first YouTube video. I didn't want to put it on my blog straight away because I just wanted to see how it goes. Also I'm not entirely happy with it but it's a first video so I'm allowed right? 

Anyway check it out and let me know what you think! 

Get To Know Me Tag

Get To Know Me Tag

Who doesn't love a good tag! I was very kindly nominated by Hannah (hannahhawes.blogspot.co.uk) to do this tag, I definitely think you should take the time to go and check out her blog. I'm sure both me and her would appreciate it.
On with the tag!

1. Is your hair naturally straight or curly? 
Thankfully my hair has a natural wave so I'm quite lucky that I don't have to do anything to it for it to look ok. Although brushing it makes it super frizzy so I avoid that.

2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon? 
Well I went to a salon and look how it turned out!!

Yep, I ended up with bright orange hair and the worse ombre ever! Definitely not £150 worth! I have since done it at home and made it look 100% better! And for a fraction of the price.

So we're back with my week in pictures style post but I've given it a little tweak. 

1. Loving Tan. So I have seen loads of people talking about it so I just had to try it out! Blog post to follow. 

2. PIZZA! This was amazing. I eat pizza about 2 times a week, yep I'll turn into one soon. 

My First Kiss...

My First Kiss...

I cringe a lot at my first kiss and my second and third and forth... You get the idea. I think the main reason I cringe so bad is because of the guys I chose. Here's a quick tip for those yet to experience their first kiss, don't do it with the first guy that wants you or in front of all your friends! 

A lot of people don't believe how unlucky I am with men. Seriously, 100% of the guys I have seen in my short 20 years on earth have been idiots. But I would like to add I am not a slut, I wish I could attract enough guys!
